Well, the filings today are 131 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 2: much more interesting than they would have been had Federal 132 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 2: district Judge Jeff Brown, who sided with the Democrats despite 133 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:55,559 Speaker 2: being a Trump appointee. He tried to kill the redistricting. 134 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 2: We need redistricting because we need maps that are drawn 135 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 2: fairly and not on a racial basis. It could mean 136 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 2: a pickup of five congressional seats. That's a game changer. 137 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 2: We've got to have those. If Trump doesn't have a 138 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 2: majority in his second term, then life becomes much more difficult. 139 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 2: You know, you you hear the Democrats say that the 140 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 2: maps are jerrymander. They're not. The map's what they should 141 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 2: have been in the first place. But think about this 142 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 2: for a moment. In the state of Massachusetts, thirty six 143 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 2: percent of voters vote Republican. They don't have a single 144 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 2: Republican congressman. Connecticut forty two percent vote Republican. They don't 145 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 2: have a single Republican congressman. Neither does Maine were forty 146 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 2: eight percent vote republican, or New Hampshire forty eight percent republican, 147 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,359 Speaker 2: Rhode Island forty two percent republican, Vermont thirty two percent republican, 148 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 2: Hawaii thirty eight percent republican, Laware forty two percent Republican. 149 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 2: None of those states, none of those eight states have 150 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 2: a single Republican congressman. If our elected offices reflected the desires, 151 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 2: the voting patterns, the values of American voters, we wouldn't 152 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 2: be having these battles. The Supreme Court voted to allow 153 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 2: Texas to use the newly redrawn congressional maps for twenty 154 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 2: twenty six. The Supreme Court's order putting the two to 155 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 2: one ruling by US district judges out of El Paso 156 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 2: that blocked the map on hold until at least the 157 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 2: High Court issues of final decision in the case.

As of about October, ABC News had 160 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 2: that story. 161 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 14: Supreme Court allowing Texas to move forward with a newly 162 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 14: redrawn congressional map for the twenty twenty six midterm elections 163 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 14: despite a lower court ruling that the map likely discriminates 164 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 14: on the base race. 165 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 4: Texas state officials arguing. 166 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 14: The map was drawn purely for political advantage, which the 167 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 14: Supreme Court has previously allowed. 168 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 4: The court's three liberal. 169 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 14: Justices dissenting Justice Kagan, writing the court's order deserves the 170 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,199 Speaker 14: millions of Texans whom the district court found were assigned 171 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 14: to their new districts based on their race, But the 172 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 14: majority insisted the lower court had improperly inserted itself into 173 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 14: an active primary campaign of setting the delicate federal state 174 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 14: balance in elections. Critics argue this Supreme Court decision has 175 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 14: the appearance of partisanship. 176 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 15: Over the last year, the Supreme Court has repeatedly issued 177 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 15: emergency orders that have set aside existing law and the 178 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 15: careful work of district courts when asked to do so 179 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 15: by the Republican Party. 180 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 14: The state's redistricting plan, pushed by President Trump, would likely 181 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 14: flip five congressional seats in Texas from Democrat to Republican 182 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 14: in an effort to preserve the slim GOP majority in 183 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 14: the House in next year's midterms.

With the lines moving in these races, you 329 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 2: can expect that some of these candidates are going to 330 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 2: be moving, and certainly if they get elected, would then 331 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 2: be moving. It's not a true Hall of Fame for 332 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 2: Major League Baseball without Barry Bonds and Jeff Clement and 333 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 2: Roger Clemens, and that is what has happened. Jeff Kent 334 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 2: has been elected to the Hall of Fame by the 335 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 2: sixteen member Temporary Era Committee, but Barry Bonds and Roger 336 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 2: Clemens have been snubbed. 337 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 19: Sports needs steroids, it does, Are you kidding me? A baseball? Certainly, 338 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 19: baseball's all strike away from being soccer. Yeah, and if 339 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 19: you like soccer, we'll welcome to America. See, our country 340 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 19: already has entertainment, So watching people chase the ball for 341 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 19: four hours to end zero zero is not enjoyable, unless, 342 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:30,919 Speaker 19: of course, the bleachers collapse. 343 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 2: In half of Europe dies baseball. 344 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 19: Nobody wants to watch a pitching battle either. Let's hit 345 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 19: the ball deep. Don't worry about your records either. For 346 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 19: every superstar that's done steroids, a billion double A boys 347 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 19: have juiced up, so the playing field is plenty. Even 348 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 19: we'll put an asterisk next to Barry Bonds his name, sure, 349 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 19: as soon as we put one next to baby Bruce 350 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 19: name getting a break records before black people are allowed 351 00:22:55,640 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 19: to play? Excuse me, where is that? Why don't people 352 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 19: talk about that? I've loved to know how many homers 353 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 19: the Babe would have hit had CC been throwing them 354 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 19: ninety two on our sliders. Yeah, maybe the fat boy 355 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 19: would have put the cigar down and quit pointing, had 356 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 19: Jose been allowed to swim ninety miles to throw them 357 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 19: a junk ball? 358 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 2: And in other sports scandals. As you know, college football's 359 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:34,120 Speaker 2: national playoffs have been announced. You know, several years ago 360 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 2: Florida State went thirteen and oh, but the quarterback went 361 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 2: down before the decision was made, so they were kept 362 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 2: out of the playoffs on the theory that, well, they're 363 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 2: not as good as they would have been with their quarterback. 364 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 2: In fact, they're not good enough to be in the playoffs. 365 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 2: That was a four member, four team playoff. Then they've 366 00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,439 Speaker 2: expanded it now to twelve. But the idea was that 367 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 2: this is the selection of now the twelve best teams 368 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 2: in the country. You don't earn it. It is a 369 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 2: pitting of the twelve best teams. That's their theory, that's 370 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 2: what they say. But that's a ridiculous argument because now 371 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 2: James Madison JM you and Tulane have made the tournament, 372 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,919 Speaker 2: which of course means they'll be blown out in the 373 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 2: first round, and the University of Texas has not made 374 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 2: the playoffs. And you and I and every Aggie fan 375 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 2: and everyone else knows they should have. 376 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:44,199 Speaker 13: Car speakers, smart devices from Michael's brain, every single one 377 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 13: of them. 378 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:52,199 Speaker 2: To your ears. This is the Michael Very Show. On 379 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 2: the anniversary of the passing of Lennon, I'm wrong, offers 380 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 2: this tribute long Linen. Forty five years ago today, John 381 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 2: Lennon was gunned down outside the Dakota Lofts by a 382 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 2: nut job. No good deed goes unpunished. He'd actually signed 383 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 2: an album cover for the nut several hours before. I 384 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 2: mean that to me is the real kicker. John Lennon 385 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 2: was only forty years old. You know, some people say 386 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:36,679 Speaker 2: that life starts at forty. Those people are really pro choice. 387 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 2: You know, you think you shoot John Lennon and you 388 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 2: got Yoko right there beside him, right there beside him. No, 389 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm just saying there was. There was Yoko 390 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 2: Clip number nine. FBI Director Cash Battel says the Biden 391 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 2: administration sat on evidence in the handling of the DC 392 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 2: pipe bomber. 393 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 20: Cash Patil, the prior administration sat on the evidence for 394 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 20: four years. There wasn't any production of new evidence from 395 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 20: five years ago. Here's what we did. We went out 396 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 20: to the country, brought in our experts and Deputy Director 397 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 20: Bong Gino led the charge and said we're going to 398 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 20: look at every single piece of evidence again trace. We 399 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,120 Speaker 20: looked at three million lines of evidence we went back 400 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,479 Speaker 20: and looked at the cell phone tower data dumps. We 401 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 20: went back and looked at the providers and what information 402 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,439 Speaker 20: they provided pursued to search warrants at the time, and 403 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 20: asked questions such as why weren't all the phone numbers scrubbed, 404 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 20: and why weren't they connected? And why wasn't there any 405 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 20: geolocational data done. Now that is either sheer in competence 406 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 20: or complete intentional negligence, and neither of which is acceptable 407 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 20: for this FBI. So we changed that in the prior 408 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,199 Speaker 20: eight months, not on just this case, but everyone, and 409 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 20: what that did was allow us to narrow the search down. 410 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 2: I mean, I have to remind the audience. 411 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 20: Of the world, this guy, this suspect, plans to bombs 412 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 20: at the United States Capitol on camera, and the Federal 413 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,880 Speaker 20: Beer of Investigation for the prior four years couldn't find 414 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 20: him completely unacceptable. 415 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 2: We were told it was a white man. It's not, 416 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 2: of course. We were told that the Narco terrorists were 417 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 2: fishermen and they weren't the mother or grandmother. I can't 418 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 2: recall of Brian Cole, the five seven black men who 419 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 2: is accused of placing the two pipe bombs says that 420 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 2: the reason he visited the site, I think ninety times. 421 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 2: It's an insane number of times. I want to say 422 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 2: it was ninety times was over a one year period, 423 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 2: was because he was an uber driver. But the number 424 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 2: of occasions where he visited the site for between twenty 425 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 2: minutes and two hours is significantly high. Well, he just 426 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 2: idling happens to be in that spot, and the number 427 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 2: of folks of questionable behavior who had offices in that area, 428 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 2: like Podesta, remember that Freak and a number of other 429 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 2: Democrat strategists really do call to mind. Let's see what 430 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 2: would be their motive implacing pipe bombs the night before 431 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 2: the big January sixth hoax. I think you get the 432 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 2: idea closer to home. What kind of klepto thieves steal 433 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 2: two huge, one hundred pound Christmas balls from the city 434 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 2: of Paarland display. We'll leave the clever word play to 435 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 2: Fox twenty six here, and they didn't disappoint. 436 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 21: When I found out about this case, I definitely thought 437 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 21: to myself, what are people thinking? 438 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 2: Why would somebody do this? And it just doesn't make sense. 439 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 21: Big red Christmas ornament weighs about one hundred pounds valued 440 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 21: about two thousand dollars. 441 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 4: I think it's ridiculous. 442 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 21: I can't imagine what somebody would want to do with 443 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 21: a one hundred pound Christmas ornament that they actually had 444 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 21: to cut a lock to remove and actually steal that 445 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 21: property at that time. 446 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 12: Apparentlyand city employee noticed the balls were missing on December first. 447 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 12: One was taken from this Apairland city sign at twenty 448 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 12: six fifty takes you Farm Road. The other one was 449 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 12: taken from thirteen hundred Pairland Parkway. I mean, this is 450 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 12: something that you couldn't put. 451 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 4: In your house or put out in your yard. 452 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 12: Because people would realize that, well, hey, it doesn't have. 453 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 2: Belonged to the city. 454 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 21: Yeah, it's not normal to see a Christmain order ornament 455 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 21: that big just anywhere. That's why it stands out. That's 456 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 21: why when you're enter in the city you see it. 457 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 21: You know, you know what it represents. But the idea 458 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 21: that someone may have stolen it for their own personal 459 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 21: gain or decor is wild to think. 460 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 12: Cal I'm doing us and want these big red Christmas 461 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 12: balls from the City of Paarland being stolen. 462 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 4: We've got all these big red balls. 463 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 2: What's that all about? 464 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 7: Now? 465 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 4: Well, I don't know.

And the email said, Czar 492 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 2: three days out from open heart surgery and here's Mattress 493 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 2: Mack serving as celebrity Grand Marshal of the League City 494 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 2: Christmas Parade on Saturday evening. He never stops, he never 495 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 2: stops supporting the community. May God watch over him and 496 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 2: his medical team. Keep up the great work and Merry Christmas. 497 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 2: I spoke to Linda, his wife, during that time, and 498 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 2: I said, I mean, wow, it's amazing, and she said 499 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 2: there's nothing I can do. He wants to be out there. 500 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 2: He committed to the people he'd be there. And we'll 501 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 2: see if you can get Mattress Mack on the line. 502 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 2: I would like to see how he's doing one year 503 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 2: after open heart surgery. He also had some very strong 504 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 2: opinions regarding the University of Texas being left out of 505 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 2: the playoffs, particularly for Jmu and Tulane. We will speak 506 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 2: to the man himself if we can track him down 507 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 2: coming up
